I am aware, that this bug may be handled as a duplicate of this bug: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=382379 However, this is a different approach.

This binary driver suits the following printers:

ME OFFICE 82WD
ME OFFICE 85ND
ME OFFICE 900WD
ME OFFICE 960FWD
Epson Stylus NX620
Epson Stylus Office B42WD
Epson Stylus Office BX525WD
Epson Stylus Office BX620FWD (also works for BX625FWD)
Epson Stylus Office TX620FWD
Epson Stylus SX525WD
Epson Stylus SX620FW
Epson Stylus TX560WD
WorkForce 60
WorkForce 620
WorkForce 630
WorkForce T42WD

Im pretty sure it can easily be modified to use other binary drivers from epson.

PS: This is my first "manual install" ebuild so detailed criticism is very welcome.

PPS: The SRC_URI is giving me a headache. I can only assume that it will stay valid.

Excuse my typo in the description. Of course it is "proprietary" not "propietary"

Is anyone still interested in this?
